Empty Steps

Bristol I love you.

But you're bringin' me down.

Greenwich

Dear Prime Meridian,

Yesterday you said tomorrow.
But my nights are your mornings and I can't keep on living in your shadow.

See you on the East Side,

50's Decadence

But at the end of the show these sparkling divas became Mothers again,
rushing their way back to the babies they left behind.

And you could see them bending under the weight of their necklaces
for each of their pearls
was still holding the magic 
of every single spell they cast
night after night

- The Latin Quarter (NYC), 1958

שאהידה

 “The evening goes blind,and you are 

Only twenty"
             

You are only twenty

and your first pregnancy is a bomb.

And then he proposed me.

Out of the blue.

I guess I said yes 'cause I had nothing else to do. 

Psychology of Shame

Arrête tes conneries, Maddie. 
C'est pas parce que tu prétends que tu t'en fous que t'es pas déchirée de l'intérieur.

Combien de fois as-tu donné ton corps?
Combien de fois as-tu fermé les yeux pour ne pas voir qui le touchait?

J'ai les nageoires qui me démangent.
C'est comme quand j'avais 17 ans. 

Et je rêve encore de pouvoir casser les fenêtres pour qu'on m'harnache la camisole.

She couldn't escape.
